Description

This image continues the sequence, now showing 3/15 with a rectangular model and the numerical process to generate this equivalent fraction. It displays a rectangle divided into 15 parts with three parts shaded, alongside the numerical process of multiplying both the numerator and denominator of 1/5 by 3 to get 3/15.

This representation further reinforces the concept of generating equivalent fractions and helps students see the pattern emerging in the sequence.

Teachers can use this image to continue the discussion on equivalent fractions and to encourage students to predict the next fraction in the sequence.

Teacher's Script: "Let's look at the next equivalent fraction. We've multiplied both the top and bottom of 1/5 by 3 this time. What fraction do we get? That's right, 3/15. How does this rectangle compare to the previous ones? Can you see the pattern forming? What do you think the next equivalent fraction might be?"
